I started down the examination route both for my own interest and to give me
some credibility when teaching others.
For the final written Master Beekeeper examinations I took a BBKA
correspondence course which forced me to study and also to complete past
papers. I had to answer every question, not pick the four that liked best
from six or seven, so I had to study aspects of beekeeping that I might not
otherwise have done.
At the time I often had to stay away from home in hotels overnight, so the
study and writing answers probably kept me out of the bar all evening.
Win-win as they say.
Best wishes
